You laugh. Some day we will use Machine Vision to spot thermaling birds from
five miles away.


I'd be happy for a machine vision to spot other aircraft! It would be
nice to have an anti-collision device that does not require the other
aircraft to do anything more than reflect photons.

....On that day, I'll quit soaring because the challenge will be gone.

....Or I just won't install any of that sissy crap.

Actually there are such optical based collision avoidance systems which scan the horizon and can detect what the eyes can't , but from some reason they did not become mainstream.
